The so-called proliferation refers to the increase in the volume of tissues and organs caused by the increase in the number of parenchymal cells, which is the result of the increased mitotic activity of cells caused by various reasons. The human prostate is no exception. From birth to adolescence, the development and growth of the prostate are slow; After puberty, the growth rate is accelerated, reaching the peak at about 24 years old, and its volume is relatively constant between 30 and 45 years old. Later, some people tend to atrophy, and the volume of glands becomes smaller, while others tend to hyperplasia, and the volume of glands gradually increases. If the urethra of the prostate is obviously compressed, it can cause bladder outlet obstruction and related symptoms of dysuria, that is, prostatic hyperplasia. Because this kind of hyperplasia is a benign disease, its full name is Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), formerly known as prostatic hypertrophy.
Prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common disease in elderly men. Generally, the pathological changes of BPH begin after the age of 40, and relevant symptoms appear after the age of 50.
Traditional Chinese medicinemay inhibit prostatic hyperplasia "src="//img. jiangke. com/article/201510/20151012112750287. jpg "/>
Traditional Chinese medicine is not only effective in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia, but also used for a long time. According to traditional Chinese medicine, the basic feature of BPH is that the body is deficient and the disease location is the same as that of "constipation". The most commonly used drugs are drugs for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and drugs for replenishing qi and tonifying kidney are also commonly used.
Highly tolerated by patients. Animal experiments have shown that traditional Chinese medicine can reduce the weight and volume of the prostate in the animal model of BPH, can directly counter the increase of testosterone level in rats caused by exogenous androgens and the decrease of testosterone in rats caused by exogenous estrogen, and can balance and regulate the body's sex hormones to gradually reach the normal level.
Some Chinese herbs can inhibit the activity of 52 reductase in the hyperplastic prostate tissue of aged dogs, and have a significant inhibitory effect on the mitosis of rat prostate epithelial cells induced by testosterone. Some traditional Chinese medicine can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and improve local blood circulation of the prostate. It can be seen that traditional Chinese medicine has the characteristics of mild and lasting effect on benign prostatic hyperplasia, clearing away evil without harming the right.
